While people are bashing Audi, I have to step in as I just did a major comparison and bought the Audi in the end. The thing nobody seems to be noticing when comparing the 9-5 Aero with the 1.8T A4 is that you are comparing Saab's high-end car that costs close to $40K and Audi's entry level car that starts under $30K and has AWD. I love Saabs, don't get me wrong. I already miss mine. But, you really can't compare the two cars evenly. You're talking about one engine with 1.8L of displacement and one with 2.3L That's a lot of difference right there alone. Also, the Aero is supposed to be FAST. The Audi is ENTRY LEVEL. I can't stress the enough. If you want to sit here and do a comparison between two cars of fairly equal $ and specs, take the S4 and the 9-5 Aero - both with about 250 hp...but once again, the Audi has AWD. I dunno, everyone just seems to be looking at how Saab is better than the competition. If Saab had AWD, I would've bought one...they should step into the Now...
